PLEADING FOR THE STRIKERS.
Local Politician who Mikes Business
with sympathy.

Local Politician who Mikes Busine IS
with Sympathy.
The Pennsylvania Railroad, through
their agent at Harsimus Cove, have taken
back about 125 of the striking freight
handlers. The Erie people still remain
obdurate, though the pressure to soften
their determination not to take any of the
old men back is something terrible. The
railroad officials in this vicinity have been
considerably amused lately by the persist
eat efforts of g local politician to have
all the striking freight handlers reiRstated
in body. This local states man not only
pleads eloquently for the unfortunate
strikers, but he desires to impress upon
the minds of the railroad officials the i'm
portance of telling the men that it was
through his lnstrumentality and solicita-
tlons they were taken back, and that un-
less he had personally requested it they
never would have been let TO work in their
cid places

a RlazIng seneener,s crew MISSING. .

Fire broke out yesterday morning on the
schooner Lizzie D. Masterson, of Provi-
dence, II. T., while she lay of the Central
Railroad iron piers at Communipaw, Jer-
sey City. The ire-boat, Bayoane, played
a stream on her and extinguished the
flames when they had consumed the stern.
The crew had gone ashore last evening
and no trace of them has since been
found. She was loaded with lard and
cheese, and the total damage is probably
$500 The fire is supposed to have
originated from an over-heated stove,
though hints of possible ineendiarism are
made.

NOBLE KLEPTOMANIACS.
Two IighBOrn Russian Ladies
Stealing from stores I'm Paris.
Paris Latter

This has been 8 regular field day Mt
the police courts. On the bench allOt-
ted to the prisoners were sent
cd two ladies'. Ono n handsome
blond Of thirty-fve with features
of remarkable delicacy, spoke
French with an excellent accent,
and comported herself with the utmost
dignity. She was no less a parsonage
than Nine. Marie Nasimoh, daughter
Of Prince Niazimski and Countess FOL
stOi. The lady is, therefore. 60na-
fdc Russian Princess.
She was divorced from her husband
seven years ago by special ukase OF
the Gar. The gentleman had been in
the habit OF knocking her about, and
had actually been condemned at Nice
for his shortcomings towards his spouse
to three months imprisonment. The
Cars ukase settled the matter in q way
satisfactory to all parties. and thence
forth Nine de Nasimoff, free as air,
was able to enjoy life without any APP
prehension of blows and bruises.
She shone like a star at Nice, delight
ing her numerous friends and acquaint-
ances with her concerts and receptions.
Her voice was much admired, and in
her intervals of repose from social en-
gagements she climbed the Mount OF
Parnassus and contributed the results
of her draughts from the Pierian spring
to the local newspapers One OF her
poems was entitled ale Regard, AMI
treated Of the "Timid Virgin and of
"Chastc Pleasure" Besides these in
spired works the minions of the law
had uDearthed a whole budget OF cor
respondcDce with crowned heads,
which. it is to be feared. have since
been shaking rather ominously.
! he other tenant of the prisoners
bench was Mile. Naledja dc Fomine.
She is thirty six years old, the daughter
Of the late General Demetri, Of the
C2ar's Guards, and to this day she re-
ceives from his imperial Majesty a
yearly allowance.
What had brought these Russian
ladies of high degree to this unpleasant
predicamcnt d? A visit to the big Louvre
shops on July 18th, the day after the
national fefc and the grand review at
Longchamps. They had been watched
closely 10y two inspectors. One OF
them state q that the ladies had bought
a few things, but had helped them
selves to many more.
he warned bis comrade, who arrest
ed the Princess in the Rue de Riyol,
while he took her companion in cnsto-
dy. When they were searched a guam
tty of articles for which they had not
paid were found on their persons.
They formed a miscellaneous collec-
ton, including scissors, cigarette-hold-
ers, pencils, cigarette papers, cheap
watches and chains, soap, card-cases,
and toilet-pOwder.
The ladies were at once imprisoned
pending their trial. In court to-day
Nine. de Nasimotf declared that she
had bad nothing to do with the thefts
and that she thought that all the arti-
clcs taken had been paid for. Her
companion pretended that she had pos
sesscd herself OF the things in fit of
absent miudedness. Finally the Prin-
cess was acquitted, while Nine. de Fo-
mine was sentenced to a months imprl-
eonmpnt

Southern Forestry Congress.

COutLeIN OIcsLIJ COAS- cao'
The third annual meeting Of the
Southern Forestry Congress will be
held at Huntsville, Alabama, October
the Goth, and the Governors Of all the
southern States are requested to send to
it one delegate for each congressional
district. Boards of Trade are also
requested to send delegates in
such number as they may deem
proper. The President of the
congress in his call says that the alarm
ing results Of deforestation are shown
this year in the long season Of drought
which las destroyed the growing crops
and desolated many millions of acres
of londs in the heretofore fertile re-
pions OF the North and West, also that
the same calamity "will surely visit
cur southern lands if we continue
longer usolessly to waste and destroy
cur forests"
Whether or not forest denudation
causes local droughts is an open ques-
ton. Hut leaving that point ont Of
consideration, the congress should be
well attended. 1t Will be most i'm
poltant gathering. If it results in
nothing more than stimulating land
owners to engage in arboriculture as an
investment it will have accomplished
great good. Hardly week passes that
we DO not read of large tracts of land
at the South having been bought simply
for the timber that is on them. 1t is
only a question Of few years when
there must be timber famine in GER
tain sections of the South. If the
waste places and worn-out lands are
planted in trees the day will come
when the "tree crop will be a most
valuable one. A few days in each year
set apart by southern landowners for
srboriculturo would prove time well ex-
pended.

Shortness vs.. Usefulness.

Speaking of the Lynchburg and Dur
ham railroad, the HQitar Re-ord says
that 10y the survey now being made, or
recently made, Of the route from South
Boston to Halifax Courthouse the depot
at the latter place is located about q
mile and half from the business por-
ton of the town and far from con-
venient access by any great portion of
the citizens And this is done to sdue
a mile in distance. 1t will be an ex-
pensive saving" The interest on the
cost of a mile of railroad wouldn't be-
Gin to be equal to the sum the Halifax
Courthouse people would have to pay
to send their freights to the depot aud
get there themselves, to say nothing of
what persons going to that place would
have to pay out.
Besides, the straightest railroad is
not necessarily the best. The Newport
News and Mi.sissippi-Valley railroad is
as crooked as 4 rams horn in West Yir-
eiuia, hut lis crookedness has enabled
it to develop much more largely the re
sources OF that tate, and to accommo-
date one third more persons, AMI build
up one third more towns, than it could
have developed and accommodated and
built up il 1t had been straight
